Nationals Show Grit, Ready to Surprise

On April 1st, Washington Nationals just wrapped their opening six-game road trip against two playoff teams from last season, splitting it three wins.

Three losses.

They kicked things off strong, but stumbled in the finale, dropping a six-to-five heartbreaker and ten innings to the Phillies on Wednesday afternoon.

Outside the clubhouse, expectations stay low for this squad, but players are buzzing with real confidence that they can surprise everyone this year.

That trip showed grit against tough competition, proving they belonged in the mix early on.

Now they head home for Friday's opener, ready to build on this momentum and flip the script on the doubters.
